JAKARTA - Special Staff to the Minister of Finance for Strategic Communication at the Ministry of Finance Yustinus Prastowo ensured that the salaries of the leadership and staff of the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) had been paid.

"It's clear, everything has been resolved," said Prastowo, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 4.

According to Prastowo, the payment of OIKN leadership and staff salaries is paid for in the 2023 fiscal year through a rapel system. Payments are made in stages because regulations are published some time after the leadership and staff of OIKN begin to carry out their duties.

"So, it is paid at the same time for the months that are the right before the Presidential Decree is issued," he said.

Financial rights and other facilities for the Head and Deputy Chief of OIKN are regulated in Presidential Regulation Number 13 of 2023 which will be issued on January 30, 2023.

The regulation states that the Head of OIKN received financial rights of IDR 172.72 million and operational funds of IDR 178 million. Meanwhile, the Deputy Head of OIKN has a financial right of IDR 155.18 million and an operational fund of IDR 145 million.

Meanwhile, the deputy and staff levels are regulated by Presidential Decree No. 44 of 2023, with details of allowances ranging from Rp. 62.67 million to Rp. 98.15 million.

Previously, the Government announced the resignation of the Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono and Deputy OIKN Dhony Rahajoe at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Monday.

Following up on this, a Presidential Decree (Keppres) has been issued which appointed Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono as Acting Head of the IKN Authority and Deputy Minister of ATR Raja Juli Antoni as Acting Deputy Head of the IKN Authority.

The President of the Republic of Indonesia asked Basuki and Raja Juli to ensure the best possible acceleration of development, according to the vision of Nusa Rimba Raya's plan and to provide positive benefits for the community.
